Educational Alignment

OZ Acton Academy is a learner-driven environment where children develop independence, solve problems, and hold one another accountable.

Adults guide through questions rather than giving answers.

What excites you most about the idea of a learner-driven school?

*Spark Studio Ages 5-8 Only* What interests you about a Montessori approach for early childhood education?

*Discovery & Summit Studios Ages 8-14 Only* What interests you about Acton's learner driven model?

Independence

One of the ways independence grows is for the adults to not solve the learner's problems. A tool we use to facilitate this is to not directly answer their questions -- we call that, "3B4G." This means using the 3 B's before asking a guide question - Books, Buddies, Brains (resources, asking a peer, thinking about it). Even then, guides will always respond socratically with questions rather than direct answers.

How do you believe your child would respond in an environment where adults step back and learners solve problems independently? *

Rate your child's ability to work without adult supervision? *

*For Spark Studio Only* Is your child able to take care of their bathroom needs completely independently

Yes

What responsibilities does your child have at home? *

What are some limits or boundaries you set for your child at home, and how do you enforce them? *

How comfortable are you allowing your child to struggle through challenges before adults step in? *

Collaborative Work

A key part of our school is working together with others to solve problems, achieve common goals, and resolve conflict. We understand that how this looks for five-year-olds is very different than for fourteen-year-olds!

Our youngest Heroes are able to share, be gentle, and kind with each other... most of the time. We know that "kids are kids" and we certainly are here to coach and support them when emotions are high.

Emotional intelligence and character growth is fostered here every day. Our oldest Heroes in our upper elementary lead the teams, organize school-wide events, offer suggestions to change systems, and can step in to run other Studios when needed.
